I believe Al Gore bragged his papa made him learn how to do it in a straight line, except it was a hard to steer one horse single blade.
Ummm… yeah… 1930s… farmers… dustbowl…
The Dust Bowl was caused by the invention of the automobile and millions of carbon-belching cars on the roads. Also a complete disregard for the nice folks in Kyoto at the time who were contemplating a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere which would have been a great success if the US had only tried to better understand the grievances of the Japanese instead of getting all upset over a little misunderstanding in Oahu. Just ask Al Gore.
Oh shiat! Obviously I need to go to a ‘re-education’ camp… Even more so for the next question Skipper… why, now that there are millions more autos on the road than in the 1930’s, aren’t there more dustbowls today than last century?
Yessss, you need to be “re-educated”, grasshopper. The reason there are not more dust bowls is .. uh .. erh .. unleaded gasoline! Yeah, that’s why. And PCV valves. And catalytic converters. And HOV lanes. And gasohol. It all adds up. Master Gore says so. But we must do more. We must all ride bicycles (and in some peoples’ case, tricycles).
Interesting Skipper. Of course, as a Government employee, I am the solution. Therefore, I will not have to ride a bicycle, or a tricycle. That is for you peons who are NOT government employees and therefore are not part of the solution.
